SOCIETY NOTES.
The Knights Of Pythias-The Opera
Mikado Observation-Disclosures.
sonals, Etc., Etc.
The heavens seemed last week to have
gone into q protracted season of mourning,
and they have frowned darkly or Butteites
much of the time. Notwithstanding, how
ever, the mien OF the elements. amid sun
shine and showers. snow and wind, hail and
mud, accidents, suicides and the reign OF dis
asreeables generally, we have passed an.
other week, which has been intermingled
somewhat with pleasure.
THE
Opera Company played all the week, and
although the audience was not as large as
the week previous, yet it has not been
small, people nave enjoyed it, and several
pleasant theater parties heve been given.
The very few warm days we had were i'm
proved by the ladies who did an unusual
amount Of call making, and some new and
very pretty spring toilets were worn.
THE ENcAMPMENr
OF the Grand Lodge of Knights OF Pythias-
than which O finer lot OF gentlemen seldom
graced our borders-the banquet speeches
and display of good fellowship were meet
for the occasion, and had the weather been
what they had hoped for, we would ha re
had q grand street parade that would have
made as fine q display OF soldierly plumed
~gallants as ever paraded the streets of a
city. Albeit our welcome visitors will carry
home with them happy membranes OF
four days in the Silver City.
THE SAD TAKING OFF
OF those dsluded, heartbroken. misguided
victims, that found rest for the weary are
notwithstanding their lesson for reiec-
items. ITO be, or not to be'-that is the
question which they solved in the negative
and their spirits have, it is to be hoped,
reached that unknown realm where the
weary are at rest. We trust that We shall
be favored with a dearth of such news in
the future; that genial skies will favor us
with q cloudless horizon and that we may
be blessed with a bountiful share of the
pleasures OF this beautiful world.

The closing exercises of the Butte High
School took place last Friday in the High
School building at 1:3O p. m. The entire

sidering that it had to be prepared during
tho severe ordeal of examination. Par
ticular mention is due Miss Nettie Stras-
burger, who played ''Musette di Mini" with
case and b%rilliancy, and also Miss Mary
Napton who rendered "Hasanritte'' very
skilfully. Miss Esther PettibOne sang
''Tit-for-Tat" in a charming n 1.-The
Village Schoolmaster," a recitation, was
very we'll eiven by Miss MabIe Beal. Misses
Carrie Kenyon and Alice Rodgers recital
tions-"Morte d. Arthur" and kate
